Day 14 of Writing Meme - I find the map and draw a straight line

( Days 1 to 13 )

14. How do you map out locations, if needed? Do you have any to show us?

I don't. Although I can read maps (something that I'm very proud of) I don't really draw maps. Besides, all my fics have been pretty concentrated in one locale, so I haven't had the need for maps. That doesn't mean I don't know how to appreciate them though! Besides, other people draw maps for the fandoms that I am in, so why do I need to draw maps for myself.

The only exception, I think, has been the flat of one of my OCs. It was kind of necessary because I needed to know where the doors were in relation to everything else. Also because I like to read Ikea magazines, and the latest version I read had a bitching kitchen island. Which tempted me to put one in the apartment of my OC - I could imagine my OC having something like that in her studio apartment, where she'd sit and watch the news while eating her breakfast. It makes sense, she doesn't need a table since she doesn't have many guests over.

But a kitchen island isn't common, and the mental image above implies that there isn't a solid wall between the hall and the kitchen. So mental mapping it was. I'm not too sure if such a flat can exist though, but hey it's in my head. =D
